MEGALOPOLIS has got this really weird vibe to it. I’d almost say Coppola had read THE FOUNTAINHEAD* recently, except that’s almost literally impossible – or at least, he’d never admit to it in public like this if he had. Maybe he just read Tom Wolfe instead. You can still get away with that in Hollywood.

*Ayn Rand is not really my cup of tea, but we might have been all better off if she had dropped the political stuff and concentrated on writing about architecture.
Considering the architecture she was commenting on were themselves political statements…
Ayn Rand is one of those most fascinating types of individuals: a sh***y person who somehow managed to make the world a better place.
